DUBLIN (Reuters) - Prop Marcus Horan will miss Ireland's matches against Australia, Fiji and South Africa this month because of a head injury, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) said in a statement on Friday.
Horan was substituted during Munster's Heineken Cup win over Treviso last month after feeling dizzy. The IRFU said the 32-year-old prop would not be available until the New Year.
Fellow Munster front rower Jerry Flannery is the only injury doubt in a squad trimmed to 31 players for the November 15 clash with Australia. The statement said the hooker had progressed well during training this week.
